Closing is contingent upon survey, & since it is cheaper to have it all done at once, I opted to have it both surveyed & staked.
So, * if * something is off & the property line does come through the house, the sale is off, unless some type of agreement can be made with encroachments/easements etc...
Which all seems quite complicated.
This is a rural area, but this house is on the main road, the house being VERY close to the road, meaning house sits maybe 10-12 feet off the road!
While the bottom potion where the house sits is level, maybe about 30 feet deep x 125 feet across is level-- the rear portion remainder of the rest of the yard literally goes up mountain.
I haven't yet had a chance to go over there & see if any of the mountainy part it is climbable, I'm sure there's a trail somewhere.
I need to begin the process of figuring out what type of fence I want/can afford.
I seriously doubt I can afford to fence the entire lot at once, so will 1st focus on the level portion.
Also, due to current health issues, I cannot DIY like I used to, so I will have to pay for installation, which totally SUCKS, because from what I am reading, fence installation is EXPENSIVE.
It seems I have a few options, there is always the (ugly) standard chainlink, and something I do not know much about called "no climb"--
Lucky for me, at this point in Tessa's life, she does NOT appear to be an escape artist. But my current tiny back yard has 6 foot stockade fence.
I do not know how she would be with open view & chainlink.
I may be limited in the height of the fence to 4 feet, due to ordinances, but should be able to apply for a variance.
Lot is non conforming to begin with, & since not in the town proper, & rural, I should not have the same hassels as the 'keepin up with the jones's' properties, but being that it's main road, I'll really have to look into everything, & make friends with the people at the township .
There are some seriously wealthy people in this township who own a ton of land & beautiful houses, & have private roads leading to them.
One being the people who own the land behind my house. I've been using google maps satellite to check it out.
So--wooden fence is going to be cost prohibitive since I cannot DIY--anyone have experience with "no climb"????
